Faculty and students breathed a sigh of relief when University Secretary Linda Lorimer announced that the weeks-long strike will end this weekend.

The campus pacifists are painting a new caricature these days. Those who support the war, they argue, do not care about the well-being of U.S. soldiers. They are merely interested in war for the spectacle. However, they continue, the anti-war lobby cares the most about our men in uniform. They want the soldiers to come »

With the cloud of war looming over New Haven, the rationing had begun. Under the piercing eyes of John Calhoun, I was trapped in the dining hall, surrounded by hordes of scavengers.

I look forward to the day when the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy comes to an end. This will not happen overnight, let alone during the upcoming war, but it will happen. Changing social attitudes continue to move left, and this will lead our political executives to modify the existing rule. It will not take »

The unions are lying. They have no interest in negotiations, let alone a fruitful dialogue with the University. Bob Proto and his followers want their demands filled and will stoop to any low to achieve their goal. Case in point, the upcoming day of civil disobedience and “witness.” Tomorrow at 5:30, union types and a »

A year has passed and the nation is strong. After the shock of destruction, this nation rallied to maintain morale and overcome the fear that terrorism so successfully awakens.
